Mechanistic investigations of the Fe(ii) mediated synthesis of squaraines (2024)
Journal Article

The scission and homologation of CO is a fundamental process in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction. However, given the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst and forcing reaction conditions, it is difficult to determine the intermediates of this reaction. He...

Highly selective, reversible water activation by P,N-cooperativity in pyridyl-functionalized phosphinines (2024)
Journal Article

Tetrapyridyl-functionalized phosphinines were prepared and structurally characterized. The donor-functionalized aromatic phosphorus heterocycles react highly selectively and even reversibly with water. Calculations reveal P,N-cooperativity for this p...

Phosphorus derivatives of mesoionic carbenes: synthesis and characterization of triazaphosphole-5-ylidene → BF 3 adducts † ‡ (2023)
Journal Article

Trimethylsilyl-substituted triazaphospholes were synthesized by a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between organic azides and (CH3)3Si-C ≡ P. In an attempt to isolate their N-alkylated products, the formation of BF3 adducts of unprecedented triazaphospho...

Phospholenes from Phosphabenzenes by Selective Ring Contraction (2022)
Journal Article

A 3-amino-functionalized phosphabenzene (phosphinine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The pyramidalized nitrogen atom of the dimethylamino substituent indicates only a weak interaction between the lone pair of the nitrogen atom a...

Reactivity of Sodium Pentaphospholide Na[cyclo ‐P 5] towards C≡E (E=C, N, P) Triple Bonds (2022)
Journal Article

A diglyme solution of Na[cyclo-P5] (1) reacts with alkynes and isolobal nitriles and phosphaalkynes to afford the otherwise elusive (aza)phospholide anions 2 a–c, 4 a,b, and 6. The reaction of Na[cyclo-P5] with alkynes and nitriles was studied by mea... Read More about Reactivity of Sodium Pentaphospholide Na[cyclo ‐P 5] towards C≡E (E=C, N, P) Triple Bonds.

Triple dehydrofluorination as a route to amidine-functionalized, aromatic phosphorus heterocycles (2022)
Journal Article

Hitherto unknown amidine-functionalized phosphabenzenes selectively form by a cascade of dehydrofluorination reactions.

Borane Adducts of Aromatic Phosphorus Heterocycles: Synthesis, Crystallographic Characterization and Reactivity of a Phosphinine‐B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 Lewis Pair (2022)
Journal Article

A phosphinine-borane adduct of a Me3Si-functionalized phosphinine and the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 has been synthesized and characterized crystallographically for the first time. The reaction strongly depends on the nature of the substituents in the α-pos...
